New Duckling Owner...

[Miss Lydia]

well then you'd be in the rescue business.

that baby is too cute. and you don't have to listen to her info just get 1 or 2 of her ducklings. Honestly i am not an enabler. But 2 more would be much better than 1 then if something happens and God forbid it would you'd still have 2.

I found someone in town that has muskovys and khakis. About the same age. Which ones should I get?

 

[jenniemig]

Nevermind, all he has are khakis. I'vemade arrangements to pick them up at 430pm tomorrow.

Yay! So glad to hear your duckling will have a friend! Please send pics when you get the new babies!

I will I was hesitant to get more, afraid of more deaths, but she is lonely. I'll post pics here as soon as I get them home. They're 2 day old khaki campbells. I have no idea about the breed, I'll have to do some research

 

[Finny]

Two days old? How cute! I don't know much about the breed either besides for that they are good layers. Maybe someone who owns khaki campbells will post something. Good luck with the research!

Thanks Finny. I'll update tomorrow

I have Khakis and adore them. They are great egg layers and foragers though they are a little skittish. They will roam my entire yard looking for snails and slugs, and will drill in the ground when wet to look for beetle grubs. They really like it when I feed them their daily lettuce snack. Here is a recent photo of them ( I have six, one of the girls is not in this picture). Let me know if you have any more questions!

Woke up this morning to a poop-a-palooza! She made a mess! I've never been so happy LOL!
She is having more soupy mash for breakfast. I have to leave for work soon. Hopefully this means her little butt will stay clear:-D
